Tech 3 Racing Team rider Bradley Smith will take no further part in the Malaysian Moto2 Grand Prix weekend after a heavy fall in yesterdays opening practice session at the Sepang circuit.

The British rider was one of four riders to crash after an isolated but heavy rain shower fell at Turn 10. Unfortunately for Smith, the appropriate flags warning of a completely wet track in that section were not being waved at the time, which resulted in a 15,000 Euro fine for Malaysian Grand Prix organisers.

After an initial examination in the circuit’s first class medical facility, Smith was transferred to the Pusat Perubatan UKM Medical Centre in Kuala Lumpur for further checks on left shoulder and chest injuries.

Doctors have ruled out internal injuries but the 20-year-old has suffered a small crack in his left collarbone.

Smith was discharged from the Pusat Perubatan UKM Medical Centre yesterday evening and he will be back at the Sepang circuit Saturday for consultations with Clinica Mobile staff on the recovery of his damaged left collarbone.
